As The Hill reported:
Former President Trump on Sunday flew over the Coca-Cola 600 in North Carolina in his private plane, dubbed “Trump Force One,” before attending the NASCAR race.
Trump Force One flew over the Charlotte Motor Speedway around 4:30 p.m. Sunday and was met with scores of cheering from the audience.
“Passing over the Charlotte Motor Speedway now – Very exciting! DJT,” the former president wrote on Truth Social Sunday.
The Coca-Cola 600 is a NASCAR Cup Series race that is the longest and only one in the series that goes from day-to-night in Concord, North Carolina. The race was slated to kick off at 6:00 p.m. EST.
